Amanet mi babo ostavio

Ljubio je, asik bio
pa se s dusom rastavio
ostarjeli babo
amanet nam ostavio da ga poslusamo
Ref.
Volite, ljubite, zivot zivite
i nikad ne dajte
da do toga dodje
da vas starost pita
gde vam mladost prodje
Hvaljen bio, grdjen bio
zaradjivo i trosio
za zivota svoga
ruzu i trn oprobao
amanet nam dao
Ref.
Sva bogatstva i sva blaga
savet vrijedan suha zlata
babove su reci
kad me zivot ranom rani
amanet me babov lijeci
Ref. 2x
pa se s dusom rastavio
ostarjeli babo
amanet nam ostavio da ga poslusamo
Ref.
Volite, ljubite, zivot zivite

gde vam mladost prodje
Hvaljen bio, grdjen bio

za zivota svoga
